Virginia also has open carry. We had a protest at the capital building (in Richmond) 5-10 years ago and half a dozen people went shopping with long guns over their shoulders here (Northern Virginia, DC burbs) in support of the protest.. well.. the 911 center almost had a power failure from the power needed to ring the hundreds of calls.. every time an open carry person entered a store the phones lit up, public thought that they were under siege. . they ended up with almost a police escort.

Haven’t heard or seen anything since.
